Simply put, ABC News’ David Muir and Lindsey Davis did a great job moderating Tuesday night’s debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Their questions were sharp, their research was on-point, their approach was calm, and they handled the real-time fact-checking without becoming overly partisan.

To be fair, the bar is low: with the exception of this June’s Trump-Biden debate, in which a sleepy Joe Biden was reduced to dazed tweets and relegated to lame-duck status, most general election debates that…

A month ago, it seemed unlikely that Vice President Kamala Harris would achieve the goals she set out to achieve as a 2019 presidential candidate.

Harris and Trump are polar opposites on a range of issues from national security to the economy to foreign policy, but perhaps nowhere are the candidates more…
